[Mum 'n' Dad's Records]

Ugh, hard task, the influences are so vast and varied, Ill skip obvious world known music like the Beatles and such.

 

there were a lot french influences, covers or originals

 

 

One local hit from the movie

 

 

One of the gypsy influences (ugh I like those)

 

 

or Russian gypsies from the famous movie

 

 

or  classical Hungarian dance

 

 

and so on, good times and beautiful music

[How Much Money Can We Musicians Earn Online]

This guy combined music with... kitty, ok its not kitty but its some kind of pet.. sort of.

And there you go ... 7.000.000 views!

So we can actually earn by performing music to certain "fans" if we are smart huh?

 

If I go out and play I suspect the biggest group of people that will come to my concert would be local police force. lol

I didn't realize you could earn money on Soundcloud.

Not yet, but they are introducing adds, and new account type for earning through adds.

I was just comparing plays on SoundCloud to Youtube or  Spotify and recent comments.

[How Much Money Can We Musicians Earn Online]

Thanks everyone, interesting insights.

 

Just listened to the other song of our fellow Songstuffer on Soundcloud and the recommended song kicked in automatically.

It sounded somehow familiar I thought its again fellow Songstuffer, but then while I was reading the other comments I recognized that melody ... it was Ed Sheeran's "Give me love".

Checked the plays - 16 millions, likes 124k.

So he might earn a couple of dollars with this numbers, but I guess he'll get more with touring or maybe he has silly kitty videos as well.

Emily, sorry to interrupt the normal flow of responses, but this is posted in wrong subforum.

[So Many Song Ideas...]

I have a bit different situation.

I usually play guitar repeating piles of ideas I collected over the decades. I probably forgotten triple of that number so recently I started recording every new idea I got. It was at first on a phone, but then a couple of moths ago I bought cheap mic and from that time I record all ideas directly in my DAW(Mixcraft) on computer.

 

To record idea I dont need perfect conditions as my house is pretty busy and there is almost always some noise. For just ideas its ok to have background noise, but to complete the idea to full song I have to wait till everyone is asleep in the house and in neighbourhood which is around midnight. The I can work on the song and record it. Of course its not proffesional sound, but I am not professional so I recon its decent for what I can achieve.

[How Much Money Can We Musicians Earn Online]

I sent my recent song to one internet radio and asked can I get some stats on playing. I wasnt thinking about money but when he said that they provide playlist to reporting bodies I realized that they do pay some royalties based on plays(but I might be wrong?) or course not to authors but to reporting bodies.
Then I searched google a bit and came to a couple of articles about online earning for musicians(authors).
Here are the links
1. site: BBS Spotify reveals artists earn $0.007 per stream

2. site The guardian Music streaming: what do songwriters really get from YouTube or Pandora?

 

So based on these numbers its rather low earn huh?

I have total of 395 plays of all my songs on Soundcloud .

if imagine its on Spotify it would be 395*0.007=2.765$ not to bad for nobody like me. If on the other hand I earn like Ellen Shipley something likle 0.00001817 per play on Youtube Id be still waithing for my first cent(0.007177$) lol

 

Any thought or even experience to share anyone?

[Brainwashed By Music?]

Found an interesting article about how music can influence our subconcious...I already new about some experiments with adds during moive plays and read about some Beatles experiments, so yeah, maybe we shuold all include something like "Ohh Zed's music is so good I have to buy it now"  in our music....lol

 

[Anatomy Of Songs]

Just found this on the other site.

[How We Discover And Consume Music [Infographic]]

Found this survey results on another site and thought it might be interesting for other guys here.

Hmm, if its not proper subforum mods can move it where it belongs.

[So Many Useful Freebies....]

Zed, sorry to cause confusion, you misunderstand....

 

In this case there isn't June freebie.... there is a freebie one day after you join, then 6 days after you join etc. If I joined today, then tomorrow I would get access to the same freebie you got 1 day after joining...

 

the point is, you won't miss a thing

Ahh, (click, turned on the brain) now I understand Or maybe not lol

I thought its monthly newsletter.

And I could not find the second freebie mail I mean that I was to receive 6 days after joining.

[So Many Useful Freebies....]

You gain access to them relative to when you joined

Hmm, that means no, I suppose.

Now after I reread your first post I realize that the news are "NOT currently posted on Songstuff". So I cant find back issues, actually I found only the issue of 30.05.2014, and could not find the one from June. Pity.

[So Many Useful Freebies....]

Hey John great news.

I am rather new here but is it possible to obtain back issues?

["katie" Music Video]

Nice video and great song Michael.

I joined this forum a bit after you posted this but I am glad I stumbled upon this topic.

I like it.

[How Much Attention Do You Pay To Your Outros/endings?]

I read in a book about the Beatles that they were very careful about ending(and starting) their songs in many variations.

There is a reason behind that, of course. Songwriting is an art and you dont want your song to sound bland, boring and uninteresting, so you decorate your song in as many ways you seem appropriate and intro and ending are no exception to that.
